I think Don would have been proud that this game has lasted to 50 iterations! Well done everyone!

Anyhoo, here are the rules as composed originally by Don, iirc.

Player one: Star Wars, Player Two: Mark Hamil, Player Three: Corvette Summer, Player Four: Annie Potts, Player Five: Ghostbusters, etc., etc.

[nemarsde tweak]No repeats within 5 steps and avoid getting caught in a loop with MCU or Fast & Furious movies, for example. Long-running franchises with ensemble casts can allow you go round and round indefinitely.[/nemarsde tweak]

No IMDb please <except to look up dates of movies with identical titles or spellings of names>. grin

You need to follow the chain as it is drawn, no jumping. If we have Stephen Moyer on the table and someone plays Prince Valiant then the Prince Valiant you have to go out of is the one that had Stephen Moyer in it, no matter how many other movies out there are named Prince Valiant.

A clarification on play. We want to avoid using archival footage. For purposes of our game Dick Clark, Bob Hope, President Kennedy etc. Did not appear in Forrest Gump.

I won't make this a rule but rather a recommendation. Please avoid films that have not been released/aired in the U.S.

And just for the sake of putting it into the written rules mostly for sake of newcomers voice work (animated films) and made-for-TV movies are allowed but not mini-series.

I wouldn't describe sports movies as my Achilles' heel, that's definitely rom-coms, but sports movies are definitely a weak spot. grin

I hope that was the one with Amy Adams as Lois Lane, otherwise I'm starting a new chain.

It was! She was a bit underutilised actually.

Of course, the quintessential Amy Adams performance is in Enchanted. Such a fun film! Always worth a rewatch.

One of my favorites! I still consider her a Disney Princess even if her contract didn't allow it! smile

And the villian(ess)(ish) was portrayed by one of my favorite Broadway stars, Idina Menzel.

(Actually, after writing that, I looked it up and realize I misremembered her role. It was not as the villianness but she was key to the plot resolution. I need to watch this again!)

Technically Idina's character was the one who became a Disney Princess, since she hooked up with the Prince at the end... but she was ALSO a princess in Frozen 2

Wasn't she the queen there? And assuming that's the movie, I can't NOT pick Olaf's voice, Josh Gad. smile

Beauty and the Beast live action Disney remake. (It's the only film I could think of, off the top of my head.)

For future reference he as also in the recent Murder on the Orient Express.

As for Beauty and the Beast, let’s go Dan Stevens.

Which was very disappointing tbh, mainly because Dame Judy Dench was barely in it.
